I know right. The best thing I have found to do was move to an area with low crime. I've been here 2 years and never even heard of something being stolen. Nah, get in your truck and lock it, activate the alarm. The alarm will go off with you and the keys inside. What happens is when they turn...

Well apparently not because as far as I know I had this installed. I was definitely charged for it. I was told it was a mandatory add-on and I couldn't have it taken off even if I wanted to. Which I know is BS, but it was relatively inexpensive so I let them charge me for it. Now whether they...

Yeah the jimmi jammer looks useful but it won't stop the method they used to get my truck. The only thing that will stop that is having the lock cylinder completely removed. Some people replace their driver door handle with a rear door handle, eliminating the key hole altogether. Then again a...

Yeah it was just a perfect combination of events to enable the truck to be stolen. If I had known how bad the theft problem was in Texas I would have chosen another truck in another state. The post is mainly to inform people about how easy it is to break into these trucks, in case they weren't...

No. It was late getting out of the dealer and they basically rushed me out the door. We didn't set anything up.

Thanks man. In fact they had no sympathy for me at all and tried to nickel and dime me for all the "dealer add-ons" on the second truck as well. The very same finance manager that just told me how he had his truck stolen a couple months ago trying to milk me for every penny he could.

Thanks for the positive reply man, it helps. I stayed at Country Inn & Suites Medical Center right of I-10. I bought the first truck from Big Star Ford in Manvel, TX (greater Houston) and the second truck was from Red McCombs Ford in San Antonio. I do not recommend Big Star Ford. Red McCombs...

Hey man, the hotel is Country Inn & Suites Medical Center, right off I-10. I grew up in downtown Atlanta so I'm no stranger to the city life but this area didn't strike me as a bad spot. The hotel was clean, there were other expensive cars in the lot with mine. I just didn't really get any bad...

Thing is they don't have to look for the key, since it's a proximity key you just hit the start button and if it lights up, you know you just got a free truck. Since they left the key in the owners manual holder, it was close enough to just start the truck. I didn't watch the actual video but...

Thanks man. I doubt it was the first dealer, it seems so common to happen in that area, I think I just got unlucky. Driving a new F-series alone is going to exponentially increase your risk of theft or break-ins. If I had known about the crime in that area I would likely have chosen a different...

I'm not quite as worried now that I'm home. If a car was stolen here it would be a big deal. In all honesty I'd probably just never go to another city with my truck. I don't need to, so I'll just avoid them. I have a beater I can drive if I need to drive to a city for some reason.

It's certainly possible. It was stolen at 3:30am. Apparently they just hit any newer F-series trucks they can because they are so easy to break into. I watched videos of it being done, I mean it's unbelievable how easy it is. Just google "san antonio stolen car" and see page after page after...

They allow people like that to stay on the forum?

eh?

Yeah, and plenty of cars there are stolen on flatbeds, so there might not be anything you can do stop it at all. Just a fact of life I guess. What really pissed me off is that the hotel manager said that people usually just break in and steal owners manuals. He didn't know why. After doing some...

I did add it to the app after it was gone just hoping they'd be dumb enough to accept the connection from inside the truck. At this point I'm not looking to get the truck back, but I'd love to see some arrests come out of it.

Well my truck was an 802a and I had the add-on shock sensor alarm as well. The dealer said they install them on every Raptor as soon as they come in. On the security footage no alarms went off. When they unlock your truck by breaking the lock cylinder or moving the lock rod, the truck thinks you...

I was told by the employees of the second dealer that they all had it done by the dealership, but I've seen tutorials for doing it just googling around. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for mine yet.

Yeah that's what sucks. You know how it is with your Raptor, when I got it I had already started bonding with it haha. I was so sad when I saw it was gone. I bought basically the same truck, but just don't feel as connected to it now. It kind of ruined the whole experience and now I'm just...

Thanks man. I've never experienced anything like this before and I've lived in some urban areas, just didn't expect it at all.

Didn't get a chance to set it up man, it got stolen just a few hours after picking it up. Dealer rushed me out of there right before closing time and we were in a hurry to get home, didn't even get a chance to set up the app. And of course having the fob makes it easier to steal, it was...

Hey everyone, you guys may or may not have noticed I posted in the new member section last week saying I was picking up my 2019 Magnetic SCrew on Wednesday. Well Wednesday morning my wife and I flew to Houston to pick it up. It was the only one I could find with the combination of options I...

haha, not so much man. Just iPhone pictures, the Utah scenery does the rest :)

In case you guys hadn't heard through other means, I talked to one of the Fox engineers directly a few days ago and he told me the Race Kit for the live valve trucks is in development right now and would be out around mid-2019. So like the 3.0 Race Kit for the 17-18, but with built in live valve...

Just joining up to get some ideas for my new truck and talk shop with you guys. Picking up my 2019 Magnetic SCrew next Wednesday. In the mean time here's a couple pics of my 2017 Magnetic SCrew I just recently sold. Looking forward to being a member!
